Oklahoma will get a refund for its unused stockpile of hydroxychloroquine, the state s attorney general announced.
The state reached an agreement with supplier FFF Enterprises of California to get back the full purchase price paid for the drug in April 2020. When it was determined the drug wasn t effective in combatting the virus, they did the right thing by refunding our money, said State Attorney General Mike Hunter (R), in a statement.
According to the official agreement, FFF Enterprises procured a supply of 100-count bottles of 200-mg hydroxychloroquine tablets from importer Rising Pharma on April 7, 2020, at the request of the Oklahoma Department of Health.

It’s been a long, strange trip for Oklahoma’s $2.6 million shipment of hydroxychloroquine, bought a year ago as a once-promising treatment for COVID-19.
The 1.2 million doses of the drug normally used to treat lupus, rheumatoid arthritis and prevent malaria were shipped from a California distributor to a small pharmacy in Pryor, with the state paying for the hydroxychloroquine from money borrowed from fees generated by medical marijuana licenses.
